NEW YORK (Reuters) - "A majority of Americans do not read political blogs, the online commentaries that have proliferated in the race for the U.S. presidency, according to a poll released on Monday.
Only 22 percent of people responding to the poll said they read blogs regularly, meaning several times a month or more, according to the survey conducted by Harris Interactive.
Political blogs, in which writers, pundits and other participants voice opinions in online forums, burst into the spotlight in the 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns. Some of the most high-profile blogs are influential on campaign strategies, media coverage and public perception of the candidates and issues.
Unlike traditional, mainstream media, blogs often adopt a specific point of view. Critics complain they can contain unchecked facts, are poorly edited and use unreliable sources."
Uh-huh. Just like Dan rather and CBS News.
And puleeze...
Lets us not GO THERE with regards to adopting a specific point of view.
That describes maybe 90% of the Yellowstream Media, and I'm being kind.
Then again, since no one is reading this, at least according to the unimpeachable Reuters lady writer, why should I even care.
But tell you what, babe; 22% is still 22% and that means that at least SOME people aren't being led around by the nose by you and your liberal lefty brethren.
